A Treasure Coast teacher was arrested Thursday and accused of providing alcohol to a 14-year-old student.

That student got so sick from the alcohol, she needed to be hospitalized, police said.

Jessica Aljure, 27, was charged with aggravated child abuse. Police did not immediately release the name of the student.

The student missed the bus Wednesday, so Aljure offered to give her a ride home, investigators said.

Authorities said Aljure stopped on the way to get a bottle of Seagrams 7, and she then gave some of it to the student to drink in her car.

"After that, the girl got home, and mom realized that the girl seemed a little off, confronted her about maybe drinking alcoholic beverages in front of the teacher," Fort Pierce Police Department Detective Ludmila Quintao said. "The girl never responded to the mother."

The police report said the girl was vomiting and had to be hospitalized.

Court records showed it's not the first time Aljure has been arrested. She pleaded guilty to a charge of drunken driving in 2008.
